"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Damn You MSU
For the first time one of your losses left my 8 year old little girl in tears after the game. Not sure whether to be proud of her, sad for her, pissed at MSU, pissed at the refs, want to light some Duke gear on fire, kick a Dukie in the nuts or all of the above.

Live coverage: Police in East Lansing respond to couch fires, other incidents after Michigan State's NCAA tournament loss

EAST LANSING, MI -- Police here are responding to reports of couch fires and large parties, among other things, after the hometown Spartans lost in the NCAA tournament early Saturday morning.

We'll bring you live coverage in the comments section below. Click here if you're reading from a mobile device. You may also want to have comments appear oldest first, so that updates show chronologically.

Michigan State's season ended in a 71-61 loss to Duke in the Sweet Sixteen.

MSU basketball losses and couch fires have coincided since at least 1999, when students and residents in East Lansing rioted following a Spartans loss in the Final Four. Similar incidents much smaller in scale have occurred since, in tandem with MSU wins and losses.

What a pitiful fanbase. And they lose and immediately start posting about us? Really. Sparts will spart. Lol

Sparty tears make me happy. I'm going to pour a little salt in the wounds of my sister and step brother who are Staee grads. Its mean, I know, but they'd be doing the absolute same thing if roles were reversed.

I'll never understand how or why people are so demonstrative. I have rooted for every B1G team this tournament on the hopes of strong conference representation. Majority of Spartan fans would rather "scUM" lose immediately.

MSU fans are deluded. In another MGoblog thread, they claimed no starter for Duke would make the MSU team. Then, in the reddit college basketball chat, they claimed that MSU had a "talented" team this year, that they lost "because of the refs"

With any luck he'll be the last spartan to finish his career with a .500 record against Michigan. Whether he was eating his way out of a scholarship, picking a fight with Draymond Green, grabbing Cody Zeller's junk, throwing a towel at Appling in the huddle, getting arrested for stoned driving-getting named captain and starting the next game, laughing publicly when people suggested he should go to class, throwing a fit and leaving the team...He encompasses everything it is to be a spartan. Here is to you Derrick Nix.

for "Bitch McGary". I can't believe that Spartan Tailgate really represents MSU grads. The few I know are not that stupid, and they do know some about basketball. I was disappoint for the B1G that they did not beat Duke last night. 3 in the final 8 would have been a good thing.

Would you expect anything else from Sparty fans? The inferiority complex they feel towards Michigan is nothing short of astounding. I'm guessing they also can't stand the fact that they're not our biggest rival, their football team is walking on thin ice towards being shoved back to second-place in the state.

Oh yeah, and they've fallen flat on their faces in the tournament, the one sport they could always seem to fall back on, while Michigan has advanced further and has as good a shot to win a national title as anyone still remaining.

Attention campers. Lunch is cancelled due to lack of hustle. Deal with it.

Sparty's always known that UM is historically the better b ball program (won/loss record head to head) and much like Dantonio with RichRod, they've enjoyed the spoils of a 15 year downturn in our b ball program due to (a) Ed Martin scandal, (b) scandalous Ellerbe hire (WTF?), (c) ADs allowing so many years to pass with our shitty b ball facilities.

But sadly for Sparty, all that has passed, so on back down to the corner of the table where Lil Bro usually sits. Not saying we will sweep them every year in hoops now, because Izzo will still carry his reputation several more years into good recruiting classes, but the tide has turned much faster than anyone would have hoped.
